The Western Alberta Regional Victim Services Society (WARVSS) is an accredited non-profit organization of Support and Court Navigation Workers, funded by the Government of Alberta Victims of Crime Fund.

It is the WARVSS mission to ensure that those who have been victimized by crime and/or have experienced extreme tragedy are best served, during the aftermath of an event, and while they navigate the criminal justice process.

A new online tool, the RCMP Crime Map enables us to share up-to-date information on criminal incidents.  Neighbourhood crime isn’t just about numbers; it’s about knowing where crime is happening in our region. This new tool gives residents an opportunity to be an extra set of eyes and ears for the Whitecourt RCMP.

To report suspicious activity, contact the RCMP Administration Line at 780-779-5900.
